Widespread rain will last through the entire day today according to the National Weather Service. Within the heavier rain bands, we could see strong sustained winds between 20 to 25 miles per hour. Gusts likely will be as high as 40 miles per hour, and depending on the track of Helene, wind gusts over 45 miles per hour are possible.
There is also the potential for flash flooding. However, the soil is still relatively dry, so, this should limit flash flooding. In terms of severe weather, there is a fairly minimal risk of severe weather with this tropical system.
Widespread rain will last through the morning hours on Saturday, but showers will become more scattered as we go through the day and more isolated through the day on Sunday.
When all is set and done, 2-4 inches are possible, with locally higher totals expected. Temperatures through the weekend will be in the upper 60s and lower 70s.
